Creepy! I'm getting a total flashback from The Ring off of this picture. :-) Actually, the image itself is an excellent example of either type of minimalism and works nicely for this challenge.

Is everyone telling you that this border doesn't work well with this image? Okay, then I won't bother making that point. ;-) The image itself is a really good example of both a small subject and a white-on-white photo, which works well for either definition of minimalism that you choose. Very nicely done!

Very good setup and composition. I think this image would look even better with a darker black point and a lighter white point to increase the overall brightness and the richness of the colors, but it still looks really nice as is.

In my opinion, this photo perfectly embodies the Minimalism challenge. It's absolutely gorgeous - I can't think of a single way to improve it.

Gorgeous rich colors and outstanding choice of composition. Shame about the dust spots, but that's easy to clean up after the challenge. Very nicely done!

Waiting for the fog to lift

I'm a sucker for shots showing boats on stll water, but this is a particularly good one. You did a great job with the reflection and with capturing the fog. I'm not sure the trees above ground add anything to this shot, so you might want to consider cropping them out since the water with only the boat and reflections is really gorgeous. Very nicely done!

This is one of the finest lighting setups in the challenge and an excellent subject as well. I think the watch face would really stand out nicely if it were a bit darker, but that's a small critique of a very nice image. BTW, you might get a DQ request or two because of the date on the watch. ;-)
